These cookies definitely look authentic and weren't hard to make. Everyone at work saw them and did a double take. In the taste department, they are quite lacking if you like sweet cookies.I didn't care for the taste at all. They are firm and only slightly sweet. I would suggest modifying the recipe to include more sugar, or maybe use Nestle quik or something instead of cocoa powder. Maybe the whole wheat did it, who knows... Experiment to find the best taste and most realistic looking. A+ on presentation, D on taste. I might even say 'F' but I'm trying to be nice.

This cake was easy to make and sooo delicious. For me, it works best as a trifle, and looks lovely as such. I took it to work for a coworker of mine and it was gone before the end of the day. Everyone that tasted it raved about how good it was and I handed the recipe out to at least two people. One thing though, about the recipe: when you mix the pudding mix with the creamer and amaretto, it doesn't thicken as pudding would with milk, but that's okay(at first I thought I goofed). Also, if you're not good at whipping cream ( and I'm not), Cool Whip works just as well, but I'd try the extra creamy versions. All in all, this cake recipe ROCKS!

I don't know how anyone would have time to bake with 11 children - my goodness, I can barely handle one! Great cake though, love it!
